Topographic maps displaying the effect of decoding accuracy (expressed as a T statistic) for each key variable: (1) object categories (top), (2) word length (middle), and (3) phonological neighborhood density (bottom). Data points exceeding the nominal cluster threshold at p < 0.05 (uncorrected) are marked with an asterisk. Object category information was decoded early on, starting in the time window from 150 to 250 ms, across a distributed set of bilateral occipitoparietal, and left temporal sensors. From the subsequent time window (250-350 ms), word length was decoded in frontotemporal sensor area, while phonological neighborhood density was decoded in left frontal sensors from 350 to 450 ms. For phonological neighborhood density, no data points exceeded the a priori cluster threshold for multiple comparisons correction.
